Drug Free Sport New Zealand

Drug Free Sport New Zealand (DFSNZ) is an independent Crown Entity originally established by the New Zealand Sports Drug Agency Act 1994, and is continued by the Sports Anti-Doping Act 2006. DFSNZ is responsible for implementing and applying the the World Anti-Doping Code in NZ.

Tough new anti-doping rules came into force on January 01 2015 which will see athletes who use performance enhancing drugs face longer bans from all sport. Changes have been made to New Zealand’s Sports Anti-Doping Rules to reflect the World Anti-Doping Agency’s 2015 World Anti-Doping Code.
